Trail report week of June 24

I explored some of the trails in the Hansville Greenway this Sunday afternoon. Visiting this inviting trail system is a rare treat, since it's a bit more of a drive for me and my family. Both the trails in Hansville and the trails near Port Gamble show the muddy effects of the recent rain we've had. We are fortunate in North Kitsap to have access to such a rich variety of land and trails for recreation. Upcoming event on the Port Gamble trails:

• July 8: Roots Rock Trail Race Timber Town 10K

North Kitsap Trail encounters this week:

• Sunday Hike to Lower Hawk's Pond on the Hansville Greenway with friends, my family, and Tia, about 2.5 miles in 75 minutes.
• Monday Mountain Bike Ride with wade on Port Gamble trails, from Stottlemeyer trailhead, about 90 minutes.
• Tuesday Hike with Ian, Koen, Sascha, and Tia on the Port Gamble trails from PG Gate 2, 80 minutes with 20-lb pack.
• Thursday Hike with Chris L. and Tia on Port Gamble trails from Gate 1, 180 minutes with 20-lb pack.
